You local guys may remember when the ECHL ventured down to Lafayette. The Louisiana IceGators was the team. The first couple of years ticket sales were booming. Louisiana never had a hockey team before and they loved to watch it because it was different. Slowly but surely, as the years progressed, the sporting event became too normal and tickets dropped so far below the radar that the team left.

You can't expect this to happen to every city for every sport, however, its always a possibility. Obviously, when a team sells that many tickets on the first day, its safe to assume that as the years progress they would not sell as many.
